111: Life with an HIV Positive Partner
Sexually active couples use condoms to prevent unwanted pregnancies and to stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, especially HIV. What do you do, however, if your partner informs you he/she is HIV positive? Does that mean you need to get out of the relationship immediately or just never have sex again? Not exactly. There are some definite precautions you will need to take to keep yourself HIV negative while in the relationship, but that should not stop you from pursuing and maintaining a loving and trusting relationship.

115: Female Condoms: What are they? How do they work?
I remember being a junior in college and hearing about the female condom from my best friend and roommate, a staunch women’s activist. Only a few months earlier, she had excitedly alerted me of a cool new contraption that would allow women to pee standing up, so let’s just say that I was less than open to the idea of hearing about some hokey body-sized rubber that probably covered the woman from head to toe. I kept thinking, “Well, of course it would protect a woman from getting pregnant; men would be running in the opposite direction at the sight of it.” It wasn’t until recently that I was able to actually research female condoms to see what they are really all about, and you know what? They aren’t full body-sized. While female condoms have never proved to be extremely popular in the U.S., they are still available at many retail outlets and proven very effective against STDs.

117: Cardiovascular Heart Disease Reversal?
Yeah, you are reading this now searching for answers. If you are like the rest of us, it may be late at night and you are searching for information that will confirm your worst suspicions that you may be showing symptoms of heart disease. The information I share is a "work in progress" and about what I have already accomplished with 10 years of intensive “learning and experimentation”. The good news is a smart and motivated individual can accomplish the same thing in 18-24 months. I decided I was smarter than this disease! I think I was able to learn and integrate information that might make a difference before it's too late and my Public Health background inspires me to share what I have learned. This is working for me, the key is to find something that works for you and that you can sustain. In this case, it really is "the first day of the rest of your life." Feel free to ask me any follow up questions.

119: Condoms and Oral Sex : Make it Safe and Fun
When my best friend and I first entered college, we were blubbering idiots when it came to anything having to do with sex. She would wholeheartedly agree with me. If people talked about condoms, we’d snicker like eight year-old boys. It’s no wonder neither one of us had even come remotely close to sex. Behind the scenes, though, we were preparing for that encounter. We’d secretly rent porn to actually see what sex looked like and we jointly owned a book called “How to Make Love to a Man (Safely)” by Alexandra Penney. On a road trip in our freshman year, we took turns reading it to each other. One thing Ms. Penney wrote about that always stuck with me was performing oral sex on a man using a condom. My reaction to that scenario now is the same as it was back then. I tilt my head to the side and think, “Is that even possible?” It is.
120: Chinese Condom News - From Condom Hairbands to Condom Dresses
Imagine you walk into a salon to get your hair shampooed, cut and styled. You are given rubber hair bands to help keep your hair up and out of your face. Then you find out that these are not your typical hair bands. These hair bands are recycled…recycled used condoms. This is what happened to one disgusted Chen Wenlan from Dongguan, China after visiting her local hair salon. Wenlan says, “Many of my friends have not yet heard the news. And it is really terrible.”
